Effect of Asfotase Alfa on Muscle Weakness in a Japanese Adult Patient of Hypophosphatasia with Low ALP Levels.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 40-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with general fatigue and muscle weakness. She had a history of premature loss of deciduous teeth at 4 years old, her serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was as low as 91 U/L, and radiologic studies revealed thoracic deformity and

Adult-onset hypophosphatasia diagnosed following bilateral atypical femoral fractures in a 55-year-old woman.

We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department having woken from sleep with right sided thigh swelling. Pelvic radiographs revealed bilateral atypical subtrochanteric femoral fractures (ASFFs). In the two years leading up to this admission, the patient had

Marked motor function improvement in a 32-year-old woman with childhood-onset hypophosphatasia by asfotase alfa therapy: Evaluation based on standardized testing batteries used in Duchenne muscular dystrophy clinical trials

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare disorder resulting from biallelic loss-of-function variants or monoallelic dominant negative variants in the ALPL gene. We herein describe the clinical outcome of a 32-year-old woman with childhood-onset HPP caused by compound heterozygous variants in

Burden of disease in pediatric patients with hypophosphatasia: results from the HPP Impact Patient Survey and the HPP Outcomes Study Telephone interview.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited, metabolic bone disease caused by deficient tissue-non-specific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase activity that manifests as a broad range of signs/symptoms, including bone mineralization defects and systemic complications. The burden of

Physical therapy management of infants and children with hypophosphatasia.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inborn error of metabolism resulting in undermineralization of bone and subsequent skeletal abnormalities. The natural history of HPP is characterized by rickets and osteomalacia, increased propensity for bone fracture, early loss of teeth in childhood, and muscle

Myopathy with hypophosphatasia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three children with hypophosphatasia also had muscle pains, stiffness, and symptoms of proximal lower limb muscle weakness that occurred early in the disorder and were the presenting features in two. A non-progressive myopathy may be an important sign of hypophosphatasia.

Hypophosphatasia: Canadian update on diagnosis and management.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited disorder of bone and mineral metabolism caused by loss of function mutations in the ALPL gene. The presentation in children and adults can be extremely variable and natural history is poorly understood particularly in adults. Careful patient

Childhood hypophosphatasia with myopathy: clinical report with recent update.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic disease with low tissue nonspeficic alkaline phosphatase activity (TNSALP), due to ALPL gene mutation. There are 6 clinical forms. Childhood form is caractherized by short stature, premature loss of decidous teeth and diffuse bone pain associated with a

Gene therapy improves dental manifestations in hypophosphatasia model mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited skeletal disorder characterized by defective bone mineralization and deficiency of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) activity. The disease is caused by mutations in the liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase gene (ALPL) encoding TNSALP.

Neuromuscular features of hypophosphatasia.

Only registered users can translate articles

The pathophysiology of the neuromuscular manifestations of hypophosphatasia (HPP) remains unknown. Pyridoxine-sensitive seizures characterize severe forms of infantile HPP. Young children and infants affected with severe forms of HPP, but also adults often present with myopathy characterized by

Treatment of childhood hypophosphatasia with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.

Hypophosphatasia (HP) is an inborn error of metabolism that is characterized by reduced bone mineralization. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate treatment of incapacitating lower limb pain in patients with childhood HP using nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID). All patients (seven

The availability of tools to accurately replicate the clinical phenotype of rare human diseases is a key step toward improved understanding of disease progression and the development of more effective therapeutics. We successfully generated the first large animal model of a rare human bone disease,

Hypophosphatasia.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited, potentially life-threatening metabolic disorder that arises from loss-of-function mutations in the gene that encodes the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). As a result of these mutations (as many as 260 genetic mutations have

Asfotase alfa therapy for children with hypophosphatasia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Background. Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by loss-of-function mutation(s) of the gene that encodes the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Consequently, cell-surface deficiency of TNSALP phosphohydrolase activity leads to extracellular accumulation of inorganic

Burden of disease in adult patients with hypophosphatasia: Results from two patient-reported surveys.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare metabolic bone disease caused by loss-of-function mutation(s) in the tissue-nonspecific alkaline (TNSALP) phosphatase gene, which manifests as rickets and/or osteomalacia with systemic complications and affects patients of all ages. The burden of disease is poorly
